How to help more #stayinghome ?

We have an idea for you!

In order to help fight Covid-19, we have implemented a production line of visors and clamps (an essential part that supports ventilation for patients) that are needed to help all those at the forefront of this pandemic.

How are those produced? Using 3D printers and production material offered by partner companies.

How can you help? We don't want you to buy a 3D printer, we want you to participate in the purchase of one.

At the moment, we already have 33 3D printers (28 of them individual investment by participants and companies) to start producing, starting next week.

Impressora 3D

We have two production hubs. One is in Trofa and the other in Vila Nova de Gaia. At this moment we already provide visors for nursing homes in Trofa, Fundão and Guarda. We are also delivering to the Crisis Center in Ovar, the Hospital Center of Porto and several Family Health Units in Vila Nova de Gaia.

This crowdfunding campaign emerged for all those who are committed to helping, without having to invest in a 3D printer for personal use. So, with a small contribution from each one, we can make a difference for many people.

note:
None of the campaign's promoters will have any financial compensation and all the money will be invested in the purchase of 3D printers. Campaign supporters will do so willingly, without receiving any compensation.

About the author

The initiative came from a group of civilians who combined their knowledge, effort and willingness to help.

Main objective: to support the professionals who fight this pandemic with protective material.

All CIVIS in this initiative are linked to various business areas. We have engineers, doctors, nurses, managers, marketers and even airline pilots.

By linking each one to their specific area of work and joining the will to help, we could be productive and achieve a common good. Help combat COVID-19.

Grupo de CIVIS

We study the needs, adapt our skills and get to work.

Doctors and nurses told us what is needed to fight the virus, the engineers got together and created the answer, developing an assembly line of 3D printers to produce visors and other necessary elements that may be needed, leaving it to the managers the evaluation and negotiation of materials as well as fundraising. All the participants participate in the dissemination of the initiative and provide support in the logistics of product delivery.

We are a group of CIVILS who felt the need to support this cause and with a single purpose. Support those at the forefront in combating this pandemic.

Budget and due dates

At the moment, the initiative already has 33 printers in production. The objective is to acquire the necessary amount for the acquisition of 10 more printers to support this cause.

Every day, until we feel this need, dozens of Visors are printed and distributed. In a 2nd phase, the production on these printers will go through components of ventilators, adapted respirators, hospital security parts, as well as all the materials missing in this fight against Covid-19.
